Thanks

 

I think I am having a similar problem with power. If I floor it from 1st, things are fine. The power is constant through the rest of the gears, and quite nice. But if I am at about 3-4k in 2nd, and hit it, the power doesn't seem much greater than stock, then once I hit 3rd, its like a rocketship. I was keeping an eye on the boost gauge, and it seemed to be boosting fine. Should I maybe try doing the same thing as Luis?

 

You guys really need to get your Interceptors tuned. Myne drives, great. Absolutely no complaints. That's something I haven't been able to say since I put the Greddy kit on. Power is always there, extremely smooth delivery, and a definite power increase over the emanage. It feels like it came this way now.

 

I have to completely agree with rkostolni. My car was the one in the "Interceptor-X Review w/dyno pics" thread started by my main man, Ray@PFS. Though the installation could easily be done in my garage at home, I don't have a dyno - and IMHO, that's the only way to properly tune a car. You can see by the dyno pics how smooth the hp and torque is throughout.

However, not one to be satisified by the dyno runs alone, Ray drove my car to his home for the night.... and yes, he did ask me first!!! This will allow him to experience the set-up in the "real-world" - on the roads, at stoplights, in traffic, sitting parked overnight, and a cold start in the morning.

How's that for customer service from a tuner? Now you know why I go to PF Supercars. and also why I highly recommend dyno tuning for those with the Interceptor-X.

Going to the dyno this Sat. Hope to be able to get everything worked out.

 

A tuner always likes to taste his creations

 

well guys iam another one with the X. and all i could say is it was worth every penny. Scott did a very good job on the this. The car drives sooooooooooo smooth just like it was stock but of course alot of more power. and when i say alot is alot trust me the ones out there thinking about getting this unit well you dont need to think no more and go and get it cuz i promise you you will love how your car will drive with this unit. Fantastic!

 

UPDATE:
I took the 8 to the dragstrip yesterday. 1/4mi - 13.65sec at 103mph. More info/video here.

Did 2 dynoruns this morning. 265whp/224tq at 10psi in 4th. More info/video here.

Props to Scott at Mazsport for a great product. I tuned the Interceptor myself using my AFR gauge and an empty highway.

 

Solid performance - how long did it take to get your maps correctly tuned?

 

I'd say it was a total of 3hrs over 2days.
Using the datalogger was pretty easy.
Just a matter of watching the AFR's at WOT (and at what boost load), then adjust the fuel map accordingly. Up the boost 2psi at a time and retune. Didn't really have to adjust it much. Lowered the timing 2 deg across the board since it would occasionally detonate when flooring it.

Scott's tune was fairly conservative, plus I get 93octane here in TX. My dynotune AFR's show up at 12.0 but they used a tailpipe sensor which isn't super accurate. My gauge showed 11.4-11.8AFR's

 

Very nice, Adrian!

 

I thought you were to get close to 300 with his unit more like 290 's.

 

13.6 - very nice Adrian.

 

I'm at 10psi and dyno'd in 4th (less strain).
Scott's 290hp video was at 12psi and dyno'd in 5th.

 

Sweet! So does this make Adrian the fastest in the quarter mile to date?

 

I think the Puerto Ricans have him beat. Fastest with actual proof I believe.

 

Yeah, a 10sec 3 rotor RX8. That thing is amazing.

 

Adrian, nice job!!!
How do u get those flames in the exhaust?????? Are using cat convertor?
Thanks

 

I meant with the factory motor and drivetrain in the car, not a motor swap.

 

hey, 8's ain't just for straightline racin'...! besides, with the dragstrip closed for the year up here, i can't get you my 1320 times! how about a "highest dyno'd rwhp & torque" competition? that'd be more inclusive until us snow/ice bound northern-types can come out of our winter hibernation!

We only have an 1/8 mile out here, and I don't think they're doing any more open runs this season.

 

March is right around the corner. My 1/8th time & speed: 8.85sec at 82.5mph

 

I went drag racing last night and was able to lower my best time by 1/2 second. 13.1 at 107mph. Upgraded mods were wider wheels with drag radials, turboxs exhaust, and 90lbs less weight (no seats, amp,...).

Thread here.

12's would easily be attainable if it were able to hold 10psi throughout the rpm's.

 

you can doit

beers

 

First Impression - Fricken AWSOME.

Anyone with the Greddy turbo should definitely consider getting the Interceptor - totally different car. I believe the Interceptor is is well worth the money. The car is functioning like it never has and I just want this biatch all night. I installed the Interceptor on Friday night, was a fairly easy install once I found the nipple behind the throttle body. I had to revise the heat shielding between the ECu's because I found out that Acosta Motorsports had left out the 2 cooling trays when installing my turbo.

Some background - I was one of the first RX8's in this area, took car off showroom floor and have over 50k. I have the Greddy turbo installed for over 1 year so I know this car. I was impressed when the turbo was installed as compared to stock, but I never realized the potential power - especially after the R flash when the car ran like ****.

After the Interceptor was installed ;
- no popping which had become a pain in the ***.
- much smoother transition between each gear
- no stumbling after 5k and 80MPH with the Emanage
- have car up to 8PSI - plan to go to 10PSI from 7PSI

Props to Scott who spent about 45 minutes with me Tuesday on the phone talking me through many of the main menus. After some tuning on my own, I am up to about 8 PSI at 11.5 AFR and the car obvioulsy has much more pull through all the gears.

At some point in the future, I plan on bringing the car to KD Rotary to fine tune on the dyno - I want to know my WHP.
